The use of LNG is a proven, reliable, and safe process, and natural gas is quickly becoming the world’s cleanest burning fossil fuel as it emerges as the environmentally preferred fuel of choice. It is for this reason that LNG facilities are put under more pressure than ever to meet the world’s natural gas demand. Keeping your plants running at an efficient pace is vital to production and condition monitoring plays a critical part in this process. Condition monitoring provides a proactive approach so that maintenance can be planned, eliminating unscheduled outages and optimizing machine performance. In addition, condition monitoring helps to avoid breakdowns with subsequent secondary damage and loss of production revenue meaning that today’s LNG facilities simply can’t afford to not have a reliable condition monitoring solution.

10. Maximo at Infigen Background
Maximo v6 was implemented in 2007
Babcock & Brown
Bluarc
Implementation focused on purchasing and inventory
Wind turbine major components were not serialized
Challenging to track maintenance and moves both b etween
turbines and between farms
Relied on vendor invoices to review maintenance and move
histories.
Work orders rarely used
Maintenance costs not easily tracked
Operations Control Center did not use Maximo

implement Maximo v75 with new business
processes to attain superior tracking.

The OCC monitors and operates the entire US fleet of
wind turbines, balance of plant systems and electrical
interconnection facilities
Used an elaborate spreadsheet to track reported events
and communications (call outs) to the Sites
With a shared Outlook mailbox maintaining history of call
outs, which was not easily searched.
